Mako returns to Dispatch Recordings for his first solo EP, consisting of four tracks steeped the classic roots of the 90’s sound we all know and love. 

Aptly entitled the “Back To The Source EP”, Mako explores vast atmospheric soundscapes, a careful selection of raw, authentic samples and an immaculate programming of amen breaks.

Stating the depth of his intention right from the start, “We Could Help Each Other” opens the EP with a wash of melody as Mako is joined on the controls by fellow collaborator Villem.  On “Planet Physical” we see a much darker direction, strictly for the heads; a gnarly, twisted drum workout that’s rugged in every sense of the word.

Up next “Do You Know What I’m Saying” builds up suspenseful intent, before leading into a shower of tightly chopped and intricate breaks.  “There’s Nothing We Can’t Be” completes this release as a digital only bonus track, offering a mellower groove by comparison to the rest of the EP. With this EP Mako finely encompasses a full circle of sound exploration at 170bpm upwards.

It’s time for some no nonsense drum & bass on MTA Records, courtesy of Mob Tactics with ‘The Answer’ EP. The duo seem to be a name on people’s lips more and more of late. Already renowned for their own inimitable style of techy – yet very funky, dance-floor orientated drum & bass, the duo appear to be going from strength-to-strength with each release, and ‘The Answer’ EP takes them in to a musical world which they have not yet explored.

‘The Answer’ EP is set to turn some heads, with the tracks already firm staples in the sets of Chase & Status, Andy C & Friction to name but a few, and the demand for them on the DJ circuit is rapidly gaining momentum. ‘The Answer’ EP will be released as a Beatport exclusive 28th July.

Being a production line of carefully crafted composition with a meticulous production standard, Calyx & Teebee have delivered yet again. And after dominating the Beatport Top 100 with their most recent single ‘A Day That Never Comes / Snakes & Ladders’, they won’t be applying the brakes anytime soon, especially in the lead up to their greatly anticipated second album on the Ram imprint.

Back on vocal duties, Calyx demonstrates the pair’s multi-dimensional approach to beat making. With plucky percussion relaying you through bouncing subs and a drivingly solid bassline, it defines their vast repertoire of style. They’re not scared to dip into unfamiliar territories, with Calyx’s cool vocals sitting on top of lulling guitar rhythms to provide the first part of a diverse and brilliantly crafted record. 

With an album laying just out of reach, each single is bringing us closer and closer to the inevitable. All four tracks prove their still a formidable force to be reckoned with; this LP will only emphasise that fact.

Emerging last year as Austria’s latest drum & bass talent to take the world by storm, Martin Mefjus as been on a serious roll with his music featuring heavily in the sets of the scenes biggest players. Never ones to rest on their laurels Critical were listening and snapped him up all for themselves as the latest to join the Critical roster alongside Enei, Foreign Concept, Xtrah and Emperor. Now as he readies his debut solo release on the label, Mefjus looks set to take things up a gear.

Next up label boss Kasra joins forces with the young Austrian on another absolute belting slice of technoid drum & bass that’s been getting Critical’s Fabric sessions in all sorts of bother of late. ‘Cypher’ is pure future with the synth stabs to match and bassline to smash, showing some strong sturdy roots for possibly a few more collaborations from these two. Wait and see...
